Beautiful, amazing with just enough bitter sweetness to really make it twist my heart in the best kinds of ways. I was seriously pissed at John for a while for busting up the fun, but I am in a forgiving mood now (OMG he has some serious issues) and his setting up a date for Rodney and Ronon was so lovely and right for him to do. Will we get to see what happened in Rodney's room that night?
His talk with Teyla (how I love how you write her) was wrenching. For the first time, I truly felt sympathy for John and how his life has been. I think he was seeing his father in his own actions and that it was wrong to make Rodney choose between two people he loves. The part about not being able to make it right but doing his best for them anyway just killed me.
Many thanks for posting this, you have made my weekend and I am in a state of bliss right now hoping my boys are finally heading towards happiness. Sigh...
